Although the New York Red Bulls may represent the Big Apple, you’ll find their home arena in the Garden State. Come by the Red Bull Arena to see this sports team face their competitors head-on. A charter club of the Major League Soccer’s Eastern Conference, the Red Bulls do not have the best domestic record–even though they were the first MLS team to win a trophy outside of North America.

Explore the historic Weequahic Park, designed by the Olmsted Brothers during the 1890s although the area had been a popular area for hosting agricultural fairs and horse racing before then. Named after the Lenape Native American phrase for “head of the cove,” this park contains the largest natural lake in the county, rolling hills, the historic Dividend Hill pavilion and portions of the East Coast Greenway.

The aptly named New Jersey Historical Society preserves and shares the history, traditions and physical records of the Garden State’s past and present. Hear both the good and the bad stories, the tales of trial and triumphs. See artifacts dating from the colonial era to the modern day, including books, letters, costumes, furniture, art and accessories.
